Poker Industry PRO is excited to announced the publication of new in-depth reports on the online poker industry, available today to all subscribers.

State of the Online Poker Industry: Summer 2018 is the second in a new biannual publication that covers all significant developments in the industry, identifies key trends and highlights anticipated headwinds and opportunities in one of the most dynamic and fast-changing verticals in the industry.

The Online Poker Difference: Understanding the Business of Online Poker is a primer on the industry, designed for analysts, investors, journalists, editors, regulators, lawmakers, or anyone tasked with getting rapidly up to speed on the industry.

“After months of team effort, we’re very excited to publish our biggest and most ambitious release of reports to date,” stated Nick Jones, Editor of Poker Industry PRO and lead author of the papers.

“Together, they make excellent partners,” said Jones. “The Online Poker Difference starts from the ground up, covering a history of online poker, where it fits into the igaming industry and what makes the vertical important. State of the Online Poker Industry builds on that foundation, covering all the latest news in the industry and looks forward to anticipated developments.”

The pair of papers are part of a new reporting arm of Poker Industry PRO which launched last year. The new initiative aims to utilize PRO’s knowledge and expertise, coupled with our best-in-class data platform, and explore topics and ideas that will be relevant for months and years to come.

PRO’s first publication was an exclusive six-part deep dive into The Stars Group (formerly Amaya). This was followed up by the inaugural State of the Online Poker Industry, published in October 2017.

This week’s publications greatly expand this new initiative, which is provided as part of PRO’s corporate subscriptions. All existing subscribers have access to all new and existing reports, without any additional fee.

The Online Poker Difference covers all major aspects of what makes online poker distinct to other online gaming verticals, and argues why poker should be approached differently. For those new to the industry, it will also introduce and define key terms and concepts and give a brief overview of the industry’s 20 year history.
